The Hessischer Pilztag took place on november 8th 2017 in Kerns in Switzerland. It was a very well-attended program with over more than 100 participants from 12 countries including of course many Germans, Swiss and Dutch, but also Spaniards and Israelis. In addition to interesting lectures, there was a company visit to ASN Kerns who gave a tour in the new substrate company where they make on a weekly basis a total of 250 tons of substrate for the various breeds.
Currently they produce about 100 tonnes of which 40% is proprietary in their own business to breed ecotic mushrooms and 60% is sold to third parties.
